Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
Not every trade needs to be delayed. Some are good to go right out of the gate.
But sometimes… the tape whispers, “Wait a moment.”
Yesterday’s bearish broken wing butterfly was fully valid on its own – mechanically speaking, it was ready. But with bullish breakout potential still on the table, I chose to wait for a more refined V-shaped entry – the kind that plays out like a right shoulder in a head and shoulders pattern.
That small timing tweak gave me the edge… and the rest was just clean execution.

SPX Market View
Thursday morning’s game plan was clear: bearish Tag ‘n Turn setup in play, and the broken wing butterfly was ready to go.
But here’s the nuance:
The system didn’t need confirmation. The setup was clean.
What it did need – in my eyes – was a moment’s pause to see if the bullish breakout teased in the premarket briefing would play out. So I waited.
I watched for a V-shaped reversal – the kind of movement that acts like a right shoulder off a fakeout high.
It formed. Quickly.
Entry happened shortly after, not far from the original mechanical trigger. Same level. Same spread.

The market gave us a 40-point move into the lunch hour and never looked back.
Expert Insights:
-
Assuming confirmation is needed – mechanical setups don’t require a V. This was caution, not necessity.
-
Jumping early into false breakouts – V-shaped entries can filter noise.
-
Forgetting optional refinements – mechanical ≠ mindless. You can time better.
-
Over-trading the trend – the exit was set. Let it work.
-
Ignoring pattern symmetry – right-shoulder-like reversals are gold.
Rumour Has It…
Insiders say the real reason for Friday’s reversal was a trader at Goldman accidentally shorting the market while testing a coffee-fueled AI named “Bearacuda.” The bot reportedly misread “pulse bar” as “pulse bare” and panicked. Chaos ensued.
This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!
